June 2025

Summer months have not slowed Lone Jack C6 down!  LJC6 provides students with several opportunities to continue learning and to continue to be part of activities.  This, alongside the continued work of our facilities department and the construction teams who are not only adding beautiful student activity space, but are cleaning, fixing and beautifying all areas of our district.  LJC6 has been working throughout the month of June.

LJC6 summer school provides approximately 140 students with continued learning and academic growth opportunities for an additional four weeks.  These students are provided time to practice skills that have been difficult, attempting to provide additional support for learning.  Other students are using this time to make up lost credits due to poor grades.  Then others are getting courses completed to free up their schedules for their passions like band, art, trades or college courses which get them prepared for their futures.  

Our Activities Department is sponsoring 26 different sports and activities camps.  214 students, from elementary through high school, have signed up to participate in at least one camp.  In addition to the camps, approximately 125 students are attending a strength and conditioning workout three times per week, committing to improving their physical skills and talents.  LJC6 appreciates parents and families who are supporting and encouraging this involvement.  This is exactly how we keep kids engaged in our schools. I thank our coaches, sponsors and administrators who are spending additional time on campus for these activities.  LJC6 faculty care about our kids and truly invest their time to make these events happen.  

You can be involved too!  June 23rd LJC6 invites community stakeholders to join us for an initial goal setting meeting to revise the LJC6 Continuous School Improvement Plan.  This plan must be revised every 3-5 years and is used for strategic planning for improved student achievement, recruitment and retention of staff and facilities goals.  This meeting is June 23rd starting at 3:30pm at the LJHS library.

One last shout out to our facilities teams here on site.  They are the true foundation of the work it takes to close out, clean up and fix the past year and move to provide amazing buildings and learning spaces for the new year to come.  

My new personal theme for the upcoming year is “YOU!  Your strengths. Our Team. One Purpose.”  Yes, it takes “All Of Us” as I have focused the last two years.  But, we are stronger when we celebrate and appreciate the work YOU as our stakeholders do and the talents that YOU share with us which make LJC6 great.   We hope you are enjoying the first weeks of these summer months and we will see you very soon.
